Mouth clipping issue | Live2D Community | Page 1

i want to avoid the face patterns from going over the mouth, just want the face patterns to be clipped on the upper/lower lips, face, and side hair fluffs. if there's someone than can help me order the layers better, I will be very grateful. the video has my voice over explaining a bit more on what's going on. if its not possible to do it without doing the warp deformer, please let me know.

errant falcon i want to avoid the face patterns from going over the mouth, just want the face ...

okay for this to work you'll need to have the lip skin and the lips separated from one another
1.) move the mouth but not the mouth skin above the patterns
2.) inverse clip the inside of the mouth and all teeth/tongue layers to the lip skins
and that should fix the problem

#

you can try it with the layers like that as well

#

idk how well it will work but it should like

#

technically work

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 5:40 AM

#

#

so all these parts i put on top of the face patterns?

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 5:41 AM

#

yes

#

except for the lips

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

so i unclip them from the back mouth?

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 5:43 AM

#

yes

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

#

ok so what do i do about it sticking out now

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 5:44 AM

#

ok so you're gonna have to either make the mouth skin larger or draw and import a separate mask for the mouth

#

i'd recommend importing a separate mask

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 5:45 AM

#

how should the mask be

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 5:45 AM

#

hold up ill sketch it for you

#

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 5:49 AM

#

i see

#

okay

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 5:49 AM

#

then you rig the masks to follow the shape of the mouth

#

and inverse clip all the mouth parts to them instead

#

and set them to 0% opacity

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 5:56 AM

#

so i do that just for the upper lip?

#

or for both lower and upper

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 5:58 AM

#

both upper and lower lip

#

like in my sketch

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 5:58 AM

#

oh becuase the lower lip is just a straight line

#

would that be a problem?

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:00 AM

#

no just draw the lower lip mask to follow the lower lip line :)

#

oh also real quick have you already rigged the mouth? (for determining the best way to rig the mask reasons)

#

and if you have, could you show me a picture of the mesh?

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:02 AM

#

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:03 AM

#

the mesh, not just the layer itself

#

the dots and lines over the layer

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:03 AM

#

#

v

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:04 AM

#

ok nice you should be able to just use glue to have the mask follow the lips

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:05 AM

#

#

Like that?

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:06 AM

#

can ya show it to me with the mouth visible as well?

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:07 AM

#

oh what i did was just duplicated and clipped the red color over

#

and then added the square shape

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:08 AM

#

oki, then you should be good ^^

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:12 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:13 AM

#

ok now copy these parts on the respective lips and paste them onto their masks

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:14 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:15 AM

#

then just add a few dots on the outside, to create something like this

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:15 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:16 AM

#

place the dots on the inside of your mesh

#

so that you cut into it a bit

#

then make sure all the lines are connected like this

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:17 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:17 AM

#

yup, now just connect the lines, so that you don't have any going horizontally

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:19 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:20 AM

#

these ones here as well

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:21 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:21 AM

#

hmm your autoconnect seems to be connecting these dots here weirdly

#

can you just click on them once with the arrow tool and see if that fixes it?

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:22 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:23 AM

#

ok try connecting them like this instead

#

forgot a line oops

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:24 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:24 AM

#

ok yeah that looks better, you're still missing these 2

#

connect those, then you should be done

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:25 AM

#

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:25 AM

#

hold up you somehow have an extra dot here

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:26 AM

#

oh thats my mouse

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:26 AM

#

ohhh hahah

#

ok yeah then you're good

#

so now select the lip first, then its respective mask

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

so the layering like this or no?

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

layering doesn't matter since it's justr a mask

#

so yeah thats fine

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

oh okay

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:27 AM

#

ok then once you've selected them go into mesh edit mode

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:28 AM

#

i select both the mask and upper lip

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:28 AM

#

yup

#

in the order i said

#

so lip first, then mask

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:28 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:29 AM

#

then go into mesh edit mode

#

and select the vertices the 2 meshes have in common

#

and click bind

#

i keep forgetting it's called bind and not glue smh

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:30 AM

#

okay glued

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:31 AM

#

perfect then go out of mesh edit mode,and click on the name of the glue

#

then just draw over it with the brush until it's all displayed red

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:32 AM

#

this right?

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:32 AM

#

yup

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:32 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:32 AM

#

mhmm looks good

#

now just go back to your arrow tool and see that the mask follows the lips

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:34 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:34 AM

#

looks good

#

now just do the same for the lower lip

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:36 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

just connect these here as well

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

does it matter if the mask is passing the face?

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

nope we're gonna make it invisible anyway

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:38 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:39 AM

#

yup looks good

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:44 AM

#

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:47 AM

#

looks good! now just inverse clip the teeth tongue and inside mouth layers to both masks

#

then set the masks to 0% opacity

errant falcon Apr 5, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

ay it worked!

#

thankyou!

flint lodge Apr 5, 2025, 6:51 AM

#

yippie! glad i could help :)
